Channels of communication with EU on intellectual property issues are always open, said the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Monday.

The EU on Monday filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization (WTO) against China's judicial ruling on standard essential patent disputes.

China received a consultation request from the EU on January 20, the ministry said in an online statement, responding to media inquiry over the issue.

The ministry stressed that China has adhered strictly to WTO rules and its accession commitments, and continually improved legislation and law enforcement related to the protection of intellectual property rights, and its achievements have been widely recognized.

It added that the country will address subsequent matters in accordance with WTO rules and firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
